We're nowhere close to spring


However, daffodils help. I remember my high school English teacher telling us how daffodils signify hope, since they are the first flowers of spring.

Well, I know spring is definitely NOT just around the corner here, as it was 6 degrees when I woke up this morning and never make it past the 20's.

But I saw these daffodils at Trader Joe's on Monday and I don't even think they cost more than $2.00. So I treated myself. Even though I had just returned from South Carolina and didn't really need one more treat, I sort of did, because our furnace had shut off while we were gone. So we walked into a, shall I say chilly, house when we returned, which took a solid six hours to reheat.

So I think I deserved the treat.

And if the weather stays this cold, well, I think I might keep buying them!
